New cycle parking stands

Thanks to Barking & Dagenham council for the new (additional) Sheffield Stands in Ripple Road near the junction with Harrow Road. Useful for people using the local shops.

At Upney station, where space is restricted, they have installed a different kind of stand that fixes to the railings. I think it is called the "cyclehoop". I'm not sure that using these is any more secure than locking up to the railings, but they are an elegant design and proper stands encourage cycling by making cyclists feel welcome.
